UPDATE: this has been resolved - check feed for resolution. Thank you so much everyone.
It deeply saddens me to have to do this but I will not be silenced nor intimidated by big business @casemate @stmarzio what you have done here is ethically wrong. By all means enter the market, but do it with your own designs.
My ask to you is on the second slide. @diet_prada yet another example of a large brand copying the creativity of a small business. What a sad broken record this is.
And yes I am aware this happens - my designs are all over Etsy, Ali Express and Amazon as well as various marketplaces all over the world - but this is particularly shitty as this is an enormous brand that has a choice in how it behaves as a business and what values it holds as a brand.
I prefer to keep this feed positive but I also need to stand up for myself and all small businesses who have been victims of this type of action. Because if I don’t, who will? My team works so hard, we are original in our designs and proud of everything we do. Business doesn’t need to be like this. Be better.
The positive from this though, you guys are amazing.
